BONUS: He loses the tip!!

Also, the foul at the 48 second mark is awful. Made worse when the official waves off the basket. Horrible!!!

Brad - I don't think the call at the 48 second mark was a foul. It looks to me like the official is (after some hesitation) indicating a 3 second violation. Of course that's why he waived off the basket.

I don't think you're right on that Mark ... he went up with a fist, bird-dogged, and pointed to the floor (to indicate that the foul was before the shot).

Also, a 3-second call there would be horrendous ... if he calls it as soon as Mamadou received the pass, fine ... but he makes a continuous move to the basket to score, so 3-seconds does not apply.

That whistle was most definitely for a foul...and continuous motion should have applied.

I wanna know how his defense is. But i guess the best defense is better offense.

I'm actually going to disagree. There was definitely a foul -- 2 hand push in the back -- when the player caught the ball. You can see that he was moved away from the basket. I will give the official the benefit of the doubt and believe that he was calling THAT foul (late) and correctly ruled that it was before the shooting motion started.

Agreed, it's a horrible call.

And how in the world does this guy not win every jump ball?

On a side note Brad, could you embed a smaller video than you did...your embed video stretches the page

Changed it ... I had just copied and pasted from YouTube and didn't adjust the size.

Looked fine on my 30" monitor
